The Commissioners OF the various school
districts reported the appointments for the
coming year. aud rs each list was read the
question was asked, "Are there any mar
RED women on the list" When Washing,
ton was read one Of the Commissioners
! stated that there was one married lady on
the list, hut that her husband had been
unable, on account of sickness, to sup
port her for the past five years. Upon
4 motion being made TO adopt the report,
Col. Miller said that while he would vote
in favor of the report he thought the reso.
luton adopted by the Board at the last
meeting 70 exclude all married ladies,
should be rescinded, so that the members
who voted for its adoption could consist
entity vote for the present appointment.
This raised good deal of discussion, after
which the motion to rescind the resolution
was defeated, and the Board confirmed all
the appointments. The names of the ap,
pOintees were the same generally rs those

A QUEER" DISCUSSION.
Dr.. Pipes thought his report ought TO be
adopted, Us it contained Il list oi teachers
vino nave been tlied and found true in the
Eighth ward. DR.. Mccoy thought the
majority report ought to he adopted; that
about the only material difference between
the two was that the majority report con-
tanned two new names TO Supplant two
contained in the minority report. Mr.. Acker
moved 10 refer the report Ia the Committee
on Teachers and Schools, which was
amended to read special committee of
five. This raised quite 4 discussion
and Drs. Mccoy and Pipes both
wanted either Une report or the other
adopted DIR. Mccoy said such move
would cause something unpleasant To hap
pen, which he did not wish 10 see. 1t
would he worse than anything that ever
occurred in the Board Several other
members said they did not know Just what
they were voting on, and would not vote
then 4 lot of insulating discussion follow
ed, after which the vote WAS put and the
motion was lost Then motion 10
adopt the minority instead of the ma
iOrity report was made, which caused
| further discussion, during which the points
Ofdiiterence in the two reports were picked
out and explained. The motion was de-
! ie1ted, several members not voting. Then
after more talk tn" adoption of the MAORI
! ty report came up. Dir. IIarrell said he
wanted 20 see the matter submitted to a
committee for investigation and report. lie
had seen lots OF winEing andblinking and
nOddng, and he didn't believe in Judging
who was right and who was wrong from
mere hearSay: he wanted To see the matter
Investigated fairly aud settled the same
! way. The question was again discussed
| from both sides in a manner that led OBJ
servers to believe the speakers wanted to
say something, but did not know exactly
! how tn go about it.
SETTLED AT LAST.
Mr.. Ebeling wanted to refer both re-
ports hack to the local commissioners, but
both DIS. Mccoy and Pipes stated that
such action would he useless, as they
would come hack 10 the Board with the re-
port unchanged. When the vote on the ma
jOrity report was taken it was defeated
| by TO =, some of the members not voting
A motion was then made to adjourn, but
some one saw that the matter of the APP
! pOintmrnt ofteaCheTs for Richie school
was left in rather unsettled condition,
and suggested that something he done.
DIR. McCoy then moved that a committee
OF five be appointed by the Chairman to
investigate the cause Of the majority and
